I really like the lad I think he’s got something about him. Probably easier than Sesko, certainly a better deal than Wissa. I’d go Larsen + Openda. Christ, never mind - yet another “interested, considering, no contact”. The usual from this static club!
Improve Isak's contract and let the bidding war start after the World Cup when he's in the shop window,better chance selling him abroad,remember he's still our player for 3 more years.
Don't see why,still get top whack in January '27 and if he wants to play in the WC he'll have to play,simple really.
T We don’t have to sell him just because he wants to go. He signed a contract to June 2028. Sell him when both parties agree if before then. If we don’t agree, he doesn’t get sold. If he’s not happy then he shouldn’t have signed the contract. And as Patrick says, with a World Cup coming it won’t be in his interests to not play. I assume Sweden qualified along with the 268 other teams qualifying.
We just need to sell him. If he downs tools which it sounds like he has he won’t be at 100% for us and then his value may go down. Sell now and replace him. Sell for £150m plus and spend big.
With 3 weeks to the start of the season,time isn't on our side,sell him and all we have is Osula,not a good idea, imho.
If a club can buy Isak quick we can buy Sesko quick. We would have the money. We do anyways and we don’t have PSR problems and that’s without selling him. So pay the extra £5m for Wissa (40m) and spend 60-70 on Sesko and then sell Isak.
